This soup has a few hidden nutritional advantages.

You can see by the ingredient list……. this soup is an over achiever. It contains not only Cauliflower but Quinoa too…..as well as some unexpected goodies hidden inside.

It is so much easier than you ever thought to eat a whole bowl of superfoods. You will not even know you have just lifted your game. This bowl of creamy cauliflower soup has no cream or in fact any dairy and can be made without broth if you prefer it as a vegan superbowl.

I think it is the kind of soup you can take to work, or serve as a really good weeknight dinner.

Set aside ½ cup of the cauliflower pieces, then add the remainder of the cauliflower, cashews, preserved lemon and stock and simmer till tender. ( about 10 minutes)

Puree with a stick blender till smooth then add ½ a cup of quinoa and the spinach and stir on a low heat till it is mixed in and add salt and pepper to taste.

This topping will make it that little bit more special:

Break the remaining cauliflower into tiny flowerettes. Heat a saute pan and add 2 tablespoons of oil add the small cauliflower pieces. Saute till starting to colour then add 2-3 Tablespoons of water and simmer till softened and the water evaporates. Add the Quinoa and extra cumin and saute again till there is a bit of colour and crunch. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the chopped parsley.
